Not only was Beryl Burton a great rider, but some of the photos of her are quite striking. In one respect she reminds me of that other great English sportswoman, Wimbledon champion Virginia Wade. I saw Wade fairly closeup once, playing Chris Everet in a Whitman Cup match many years ago. As she walked on court there was a remarkable fire in her eyes, almost like a tiger. In some of the photos of Burton, the same "eye of the tiger" is evident.
